Lisa Natoli this Saturday on ACIM Gather

Join us Saturday October 8th at 8pm Eastern for an hour with our dear friend, Lisa Natoli.

Lisa Natoli is A Course in Miracles minister and author of the best-selling book Gorgeous for God. She writes and teaches on the topics of transformation, prayer, abundance and healing. She gave her life to God on July 4, 2000 (while she was working in New York City in publishing but frustrated by the daily routine) and 6 days later she lost her job and dedicated her life to God and to A Course in Miracles, working and healing with Jesus Christ. She is co-founder of the nonprofit organization Teachers of God Foundationhttp://www.teachersofgod.org which inspires, encourages and supports individuals to go through the transformation from fear to love. Teachers of God Foundation offers retreats, workshops and online programs including the 40-Day Program (which is free) and Living in Purpose. She is a Unity Prayer Chaplain and co-hosts a weekly radio show on Unity Online Radio with her husband Bill Free called Living in Joy/Reflections on A Course in Miracles.

“I have devoted my life to Jesus Christ and to helping people transform their lives through the practical application of A Course in Miracles. I was alcoholic, depressed and a food addict. Every day I lived in fear and I thought this was normal. I “studied” the Course and no matter what I did or how much I tried, nothing much seemed to change for me, or at least not for long. I would experience a brief moment of joy, only to be followed by fear and old habits again. So I studied harder, and still not much happened. So I did something radical: I DID WHAT JESUS SAID TO DO IN A COURSE IN MIRACLES. I gave myself a new beginning. I started trusting in God. I took responsibility for the things that seemed to be happening to me. I made a choice to stop being a victim. I gave up conflict. I was quick to forgive (and one day I realized there is nothing to forgive!) I began to make it a daily practice to ask the Holy Spirit for guidance and direction, to set aside time every day to sit quietly with God, and to stay in gratitude. I started BEING the light of the world (instead of just thinking about it). One by one, things that had been a problem for so many years began falling away: I lost my desire for cigarettes and alcohol (on the same day: March 29, 2001). Addiction, sickness and depression disappeared completely. My life went from lack, poverty and debt to one of abundance and generosity. So it is my joy to share the practices that have worked for me because no one needs to suffer or be sick. I have found that if you have a willingness to forgive and to see things differently, you can change your life.”

9:00 – 10:00pm

Jim White – Love Communications Ministries

I began studying ACIM in 2001 and I’ve been an ardent student ever since. ACIM has shown me a totally different way of thinking about and dealing with life that really works. And, the way it teaches and talks about God has allowed me to more powerfully experience God’s presence, power and guidance in my life on a daily basis. Like thousands of other ACIM students around the world, the “Course” has shown me the “for-real”, “without a doubt” reality of God, and how this simple “knowing” is able to serve me in all ways and at all times.

As a result of my enthusiasm for ACIM, I established and became President of Love Communications in 2005. In 2014, our organization applied for and received State and Federal approval as a 501.c3 Charitable Organization. We also changed our name at this time. Effective October 2, 2014, Love Communications became Love Communications Ministries!

Our mission at LC Ministries is to assist in sharing the “Good News” of ACIM around the world, thereby accelerating the manifestation of its world-changing benefits! Put simply, our mission is to make ACIM a “household word” (like the Bible, Quran, Bhagavad-Gita and other Holy Books).

10:00pm – 1:00am

Sunday Services at the Community Miracles Center

“That’s Really Bad!” Have you ever taken a neutral event, made up an entire victim story about the event and then made the choice to suffer because of the story you you told yourself? Join me this Sunday live at Community Miracles Center to look at how we make ourselves victims on our own fictitious victim stories and how we delight and even fight over “being unfairly treated.” By Rev. Roxie Benson

Since the Community Miracles Center was formed, a Sunday Service has been held where local A Course In Miracles students, and always welcome visitors, can find a place where the healing, metaphysical thoughts from ACIM are explored and practiced. The Sunday Service contains lecture, discussion, meditation, singing, and, of course, socializing. This is the perfect introduction to ACIM and the CMC. Meet “mighty companions” for your spiritual journey into healing in San Francisco every Sunday Morning at 11:00 a.m. Lovely piano music starts at 10:45 a.m. and there is fresh brewed coffee. After service there is a social time, more music, and fresh cut fruit & cookies are served.

When you meet anyone, remember it is a holy encounter. As you see him you will see yourself. As you treat him you will treat yourself. As you think of him you will think of yourself. Never forget this, for in him you will find yourself or lose yourselfWhenever two Sons of God meet, they are given another chance at salvation. ~ ACIM T 8.3
